"You would be fatal to any man. A spark that lights, and does not burn itself, a flame fanning other flames."

Dark, gothic, and chilling, Du Maurier explores themes of obsession, jealousy, sex and passion in this tale about a woman's obsession with a mechanical male sex doll. Unsurprisingly one of the strangest things I've ever read and more unsurprising still, The Doll is beautifully written and an excellent example of Du Maurier's talent.
